I need to figure out what how i want to insulate my mission. I have the vevo diesel heater and inverter to i stall we sleep in the trailers during hunting season

 

[Turblue]

My project is going painfully slow. Had some corrosion issues so spent way too much time addressing that. Pulled the outer skin back. Painted the frame and used 3m vhb tape along the bottom to keep the aluminum skin and steel frame from touching.

I used just 1” durospan ridgid insulation. It doesn’t have a big r value but I’m not planning on sleeping in it.

The wall panels I used luan from Windsor…

Heater I’m going with lt bros 5k off amazon.

I installed a Canadian tire wall cabinet that has the battery, fuse block and power charging stn. I thought about mounting the battery on the hitch but didn’t like any of the mounting ideas.

Led lights off of amazon

Corner transitions and door spring covers out of 0.040 painted white aluminum bought and bent at metal mart in the hat.

the diesel heater just chugs along

2 years ago January elk hunt it hit -55 the sons wood stove was going day and night.

brrrrr

Not sure if this is a good idea or not but not dealing with a lot of extra space and wanted to keep it compact. Probably will remote mount a different fuel tank later.

Looks clean and tucked away, but a little inconvenient for filling the tank

For sure that why I’m thinking a remote tank. Should have just bought the kit instead of the heater in the housing. I had a different plan originally.

Do these work?

You will need good air flow into that cabinet also or you will have heater high temp issues.

It’s got a 4” hole saw hole in the bottom. I was thinking of adding another vent.

Once I insulated my trailer I had high temp issues, which I resolved by increasing the minimum fan speed on the unit.

It works decent if you were to upgrade the hose, kinks bad & makes it a pain. It was good up until it kinked.

Heater finished. Amazon pump works great for filling the tank.

Those little pumps work great. Just remember to take the batteries out or they leak. Ask me how I know. Also, there’s 2 different pumps. One with a longer hose and one with a short. I had the long one, forgot about the length and ended up with the short.

Pretty much done…ran the heater for 3 hrs yesterday and worked like a charm. Need to a some more glides and edge glides on the front door.

 

[2kDoo]

nice !
what did you use for glides ovee the wheel welss?

 

[Turblue]

I bought caliber glides…figured I’d try them. I have their edge glides and edge guards for the front fold down also. Just haven’t installed yet.

Haven’t decided what to do with the floor yet.

Ha. Buddy has the same trailer and he has tile but lm not sure it worth it.

A buddy of mine did that garage epoxy on his. Seems to protect the wood well and is holding up so far after a couple years but it’s super slippery, boots and tracks all struggle on it.
